Quaker the military horse in the uk news again..
Seems like comms..
A military horse that bolted through central London after being startled by construction work has retired to the country.
Quaker, 15, was one of five Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment horses spooked when rubble was dropped through a plastic tunnel while they were on an exercise in Belgravia on 24 April last year.
Footage of the frightened animals was broadcast worldwide after being captured by a BBC cameraman covering the Post Office Inquiry.
Service personnel were thrown from their horses and the animals ran loose, smashing into vehicles, including a double-decker bus, resulting in a number of injuries.
Quaker suffered bleeding and a small break during the incident. After receiving surgery, he stayed with the Horse Trust at its sanctuary in Buckinghamshire.
Quaker's rider broke his back when he was thrown off but after a year in recovery he was able to return to his duties and is riding again.
Maj Thomas Stewart, Life Guards squadron leader, said Quaker was the only horse from the five that had been unable to return to its duties.
Household Cavalry horses Trojan, Tennyson, Vanquish and Vida have all returned to duty.
"It was decided that actually it was best for [Quaker's] welfare that he wasn't going to come back to us down in London," he said.
"It's better for him that he's here and enjoys it while he's here."
Jeanette Allen, CEO of the Horse Trust, said Quaker's retirement involved eating, sleeping and running around "when he feels like it".
"We were founded nearly 140 years ago by a lady who read Black Beauty, and she was inspired to help London's cab horses," she said.
"Respite for London's working horses is where we started and over time we started retiring military horses."
